NAME
tracksplit - split audio track
SYNOPSIS
tracksplit [OPTIONS] <track 1>
DESCRIPTION
tracksplit splits an audio track into several smaller tracks.
OPTIONS
- -h, --help
-
show a list of options and exit
- -I, --interactive
-
edit metadata in interactive mode prior to splitting file
- --cue=FILENAME
-
the cuesheet to use for splitting track
- -V, --verbose=VERBOSITY
-
The level of output to display. Choose between 'normal', 'quiet' and 'debug'.
ENCODING OPTIONS
- -t, --type=TYPE
-
The audio format to convert the split tracks to. For a list of available audio formats, try: -t help.
- -q, --quality=QUALITY
-
The desired quality of the split tracks. For a list of available quality modes for a given format, try: -q help
- -d, --dir=DIRECTORY
-
The target directory for the split tracks. If none is given, the current working directory is used. If the target directory does not exist, it will be created automatically.
- --format=STRING
-
The format string to use for new filenames. Template fields are replaced with metadata values when new tracks are created. All other text is left as-is. If this option is omitted, a default format string is used.
- -j, --joint=PROCESSES
